Would he meet with McGonigal?/ "Order, welcome bujrum", Berisha says bluntly: I would invite him to drink coffee!

The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, has admitted that while he was the prime minister of the country, he met high-level officials of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), but not of the FBI.

However, the door of his office would remain open for McGonigal, whom he would have accepted for a coffee, but according to Berisha, he would never have asked him to investigate Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Sali Berisha: Each of us who are here, if 5 years ago someone would have told me that this is the head of... or he would present himself as such and has presented himself as such, of Services, "order, welcome Bujrum"

Robert Rakipllari: When you were prime minister, did you not meet high officials of this level?

Sali Berisha: When I was prime minister, I met very high officials of the CIA, not the FBI. To my knowledge, never because they did not come in that period...

Robert Rakipllari: They are more or less at the same level.

Sali Berisha: In fact, I don't say who is more, but from a numerical point of view, this is the most powerful in the USA. Outside the US is the CIA. This was the person in the FBI who had the most access to the CIA, that's for sure.

Blendi Fevziu: Mr. Berisha, if someone would call you in 2017 and tell you that Charles McGOnigal, head of FBI counterintelligence for the New York district, will come to drink a coffee because he is in Tirana, would would you say no?

Sali Berisha: I would gladly invite him to drink coffee, but I could never imagine that I would tell him to investigate Edi Rama.
